templates for e-book covers

Post by franklekens »

Not really an Atlantis question, but since some people here seem to use the epub plugin: does anybody have tips for simple book cover templates?
I'm thinking along the lines of the ones the Jutoh Ebook Editor provides, but even simpler ones (e.g. along the lines of the classic French Gallimard covers -- a mere rectangle and standard fonts for title & author) would interest me. Amazon's standard templates look rather cheap and I'm no great hand at designing myself.

Ebook covers

Post by rstroud »

I will check out those links. They might have some things to offer. I have been using Calibre to create a cover.

I create my epub with Atlantis, then load it into Calibre and generate a cover.

You end up with a choice of three or four covers. It is very simple, and not anything that you would want to use commercially, but they work for personal projects.

NOTE TO ATLANTIS STAFF:
I have been unable to post into the thread about PDF/No Printer (I tried a few minutes ago), but on a hunch I decided to try posting into this thread, and it worked.

??? Who knows?
